Trust Preferred Securities | Note 20 – Trust preferred securities Statutory trusts established by the Corporation (BanPonce Trust I, Popular Capital Trust I, Popular North America Capital Trust I and Popular Capital Trust II) had issued trust preferred securities (also referred to as “capital securities”) to the public. The proceeds from such issuances, together with the proce eds of the related issuances of common securities of the trusts (the “common securities”), were used by the trusts to purchase junior subordinated deferrable interest debentures (the “junior subordinated debentures”) issued by the Corporation. The sole as sets of the trusts consisted of the junior subordinated debentures of the Corporation and the related accrued interest receivable. These trusts are not consolidated by the Corporation pursuant to accounting principles generally accepted in the United State s of America. The junior subordinated debentures are included by the Corporation as notes payable in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition, while the common securities issued by the issuer trusts are included as other investment securities. Th e common securities of each trust are wholly-owned, or indirectly wholly-owned, by the Corporation. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, Popular North America, Inc. (“PNA”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Corporation, redeemed all outstanding capit al securities issued by BanPonce Trust I (the “Trust”), a statutory trust established by PNA, with an aggregate book value of $53 million, along with the common securities issued by the Trust, which resulted in the concurrent extinguishment of the related junior subordinated debentures amounting to $55 million, as discussed in Note 19. The following tables present financial data pertaining to the different trusts at December 31, 2018 and 2017.
